Having my position recently "eliminated" the new word for "Laid
Off", I feel that age discrimination is being used to eliminate me from consideration. How can I combat that problem?

I've seen people advise to take too much dated material out of your resume. In other words, just include jobs that are most recent and be vague about what preceded those jobs. There's always a problem with this, of course, as at some point you'll become visible and your actual age will be obvious. But presenting yourself as more or less timeless may get you through initial screening and then you'll at least be able to make a case for yourself.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to get into real estate investing. Some of the books I've read have talked about buying a multi unit property and utilizing investors to get the necessary capital. Does anyone have experience in getting investors? How do you identify investors who may be interested? Are there any sites where you can invest in or post investment opportunities?
Thank you in advance.

I want to ruin their vacation. What else can I do?
